SMASHED PICKLE SALAD



Smashed Pickle Salad image

Many cucumber salads are dressed with some combination of salt, acidity (such as vinegar or lemon juice) and something tangy and creamy. (Sour cream is commonly used in Germany, Scandinavia and the Midwest; buttermilk in the South; and yogurt in the Mediterranean, Southwest Asia and South Asia.) This recipe skips the first step of salting by instead substituting pickles - cucumbers fermented in salt and vinegar - in place of raw cucumbers. They're still crunchy, but also pack a fierce punch. Eat this salad alongside something rich, like grilled meats or schnitzel, or in a sandwich with deli meats, tinned fish or boiled eggs. While most pickles work, half-sour pickles are especially refreshing. (Avoid bread and butter pickles, which are too sweet.) Smashing the pickles opens them up to absorb dressing, and the act of doing so is just plain fun.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
4 whole pickles (or 16 spears), plus 1 tablespoon brine
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped dill fronds and stems
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the red onion and pickle brine.
  • On your cutting board, whack the pickles with a meat mallet or the back of a wooden spoon, then rip into 1/2-inch pieces. (If using spears, simply rip them into 1/2-inch pieces.)
  • Add the smashed pickles to the bowl, along with the celery, sour cream, dill and mayonnaise. Stir vigorously until creamy and combined. This salad is best eaten right away. (It can be refrigerated up to one day, but the dressing will start to get watery.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp pickling peas. The best peas for this salad are young and tender, with a sweet flavor.
  • Blanch the peas briefly before adding them to the salad. This will help to preserve their color and crunch.
  • Use a variety of fresh herbs in the salad. Dill, chives, parsley, and mint are all great options. You can also add some chopped red onion or celery for extra flavor.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
